Meanwhile, Wayne City didn't have quite enough to beat Cisne on Tuesday and fell 6-5.

Waltonville took their win against Wayne City when the teams last played back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Spartans since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
